  1. Who wins a cookie for predicting this as the next obvious step in musical degradation?
    πŸ˜‚

    G'wan now, Relax!
    You know you wanna!

    Gimme Those Laser Beams!

  2. Time to enter the Bazaar of the Bizarre!

    The has had the belt moved to 45rpm. Things are going to get seriously 80's weird!!

    Kicking off in style(???)...

    Soft Cell
    Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go

    I have serious issues with the dichotomy between the cover art style and the EP label style BTW.

    Sorry, Not Sorry for pointing that out if you hadn't noticed πŸ˜‚

  3. These are very scary levels of good. Like 'slap myself to stop from grabbing another' level of good! 🀯

    I have inhaled three in much too short a time period. And yes, they were Very Adult. So here we are... ☁️🀯☁️

    That's likely good news for those that haven't stomped the tag into oblivion yet. I no longer possess the fine motor skills to operate complex machinery like the Spin-Clean or completely manual turntable.

  4. More 180g stuff. Kickin' it with Tesla!

    Tesla
    Psychotic Supper
    Universal Music - 1991/2016(Geffen) US pressing - 2 LP - 180g vinyl

  5. I need something more Live-ly. This will do and it's unopened! It's first play time!

    Grand Funk
    Live Album
    Capitol - original release 1970, 180g re-release 2016 - US pressing(?)

    Verdict: most live albums aren't worth the effort of a premium pressing. Usually muddy, unbalanced sound with a poor 'spread' of sound. This one is surprisingly very good, especially considering the 1970 original press. Some nice jamming and crowd interaction

  6. OK. I have a number of Echo and the Bunnymen LPs. I must have really liked them right? Let's see if it has stuck.

    Echo and the Bunnymen
    Ocean Rain
    Korova/WEA 1984 - Canadian pressing

    Verdict: Yeah, ok. But not really right now

  7. Here's another one I really don't remember that well (if at all to be honest). I remember the band and also remember liking the first album.

    Band formed in Vancouver in 1982. First album was Worlds Away which got a lot of attention in Canada at the time.

    Let's see about 2wo. πŸ€”

    Strange Advance
    2wo
    Capitol Records 1985 (Canadian pressing)

    Judgement: this is a big nope from me. They should have stopped at 1ne.

  8. After two albums that I at least vaguely remember it's time for What The Heck Have I Got Here?

    Heads In The Sky πŸ€”

    Short lived band from Oak Ridges, Ontario headed by Russ Walker. A 1979 EP and then this album in 1981.

    Heads In The Sky
    Heads In The Sky
    Illuminated Records 1981 (Canadian pressing own label)

  9. Time for a nice drive! Vroom!

    Kraftwerk
    Autobahn
    Phonegram/Polydor 1974 (Canadian pressing)

  10. This morning's music selection can be entirely blamed on Ricotta and @Kierkegaanks ‼️

    Ultravox
    Vienna
    Chrysalis 1980 (Canadian Pressing)

  11. I need a bit of a reset after that πŸ˜‚

    Time for something classic.

    Led Zeppelin
    IV
    Atlantic, 1971 - Japanese pressing

  12. Invoking the TWD logically leads to playing a Blue Γ–yster Cult bootleg, right?
    ...
    Right?

    Blue Γ–yster Cult
    Fantasy Distillation Of Reality
    Bootleg - no idea what year, live performance somewhere 🀷

    Surprisingly good quality heavy vinyl with very little track noise.

    LP cover art and labeling are just a bit minimalist πŸ˜ƒ

  13. Now invoking the Thin White Duke to eradicate the last earworm.

    David Bowie
    Original Soundtrack zum Film "Christiane F. WIR KINDER BAHNHOFF ZOO"
    RCA - German Import, 1981

  14. Alright. It's stuck in my head now. May as well embrace it. 🎢

    In Xanadu did Kublai Khan a Pleasuredome Erect...

  15. Time to twist the dial over to Heavy. Oh yeah, don't forget,

    Eat The Rich!

    Krokus
    Headhunter
    Arista Records, 1983


    Middle first side call: I had forgotten how *rock solid* this album is! 🀘

  16. 80's here again. How about something you don't remember owning and have absolutely zero idea of what the band genre and sound is? Could be interesting...

    The Nails
    Mood Swing
    RCA Canada, 1984

    Flip time judgement: definitely 80's new wave but not bad actually. Quite surprised how many tunes I remember.

    Fun fact: Eric Boucher their roadie had a later career as Jello Biafra of The Dead Kennedys.
    🀘

  17. 80's calling, play me something angry and gritty! No, not those guys and their bell, there are other Aussie bands you know.

    Midnight Oil
    Red Sails in the Sunset


    CBS Records Canada, 1985

  18. @TreasureDev I was buying the Samsung because I was willing to pay ~250 more for the Samsung for the longer support period (ironic that)

    And the stylus. I really thought that would help me

    Rock solid and easy to clean to 'bare' Android. Their bloatware is actually *useful* & if you πŸ—‘οΈ it, it doesn't 🧟 return w/ next update. (G7+)

    But $500? Nope πŸ˜„

    This typed on 1 yr out of support Pixel 3 XL w/ no screen protector

    I take good care of my stuff

  19. For my own sanity and possibly yours in dealing with my stuff.

    I commonly use when posting beyond those in bio (some key ones repeated):
    Note:



    - various tags to identify possibly unwanted text/imagery in food preparation




    - locations where appropriate



  20. Not a toot but this just came on and I love this.

    The fact that it samples 'The End' by working lyrics from it into the stanzas of this song may have something to do with that association.

    Doors gone Metal as it were. Suits beautifully. πŸ‘πŸ‘

  21. And that's the end of for now. I have to do some things that aren't amenable to returning to the record player every 20 minutes.

    These will likely come in intermittent bursts.

    It's being streamed through the house via Sonos but when I'm doing this I prefer the AVR speakers for full attention.

    Now off to write down the many steps to undo this and get back to streaming so I can automate it down to an icon press in

  22. Definitely my introduction to electronic music. Saw Friedkins movie Sorcerer in high school and the soundtrack freaked the living πŸ’© out of me.

    Likely among my very first LPs when I got the turntable. Not first (forget that exact one) because it may have been a bit hard to find. Can definitely say it was the first LP I played when taking things out of storage.

  23. Carol Pope and Rough Trade were making in-your-face LGBTQ+ music very, very early in acceptance.

    I think of them of local but it is quite possible I learned of them through the college radio network (or a cassette tape copy) which was only way 'subversive' music spread then. I know the traditional means was unavailable to them.

    Very big part of my current You Do You first. Just don't be annoying about it view on all communities.

    Likely why Mastodon fits me so well.

  24. going more local.

    Nash the Slash

    Genre best described as Crazed Electronics Fiddle Player One Man Bands With Yet Another Gimmick

    or

    Jean Luc Ponty on a really, really bad acid trip.

    Album selected, 'And You Thought You Were Normal' only hints at the chaos inside.

    Understandably considered local. Also short life span.

  25. One good thing about that snow?

    I'm inside with the again. It was pulled out again a couple of years ago and integrated with a modern AVR/Sonos system. With a whack load of, it turns out, immaculately preserved LPs from the early 80's as an engineering student in Waterloo, Ontario.

    A strange little peek through the straw at what the kids listened to back then. πŸ˜„

    Album info in IC. Read it if interested. I generally add something not in main toot.
